Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks complete comeback to tie series with Sixers

Apparently, the heavy wrap on Trae Young's shooting shoulder worked.

Following an 0-for-5 start from the field, the Atlanta Hawks point guard had his right shoulder wrapped by trainers at the end of the first quarter. Backcourt mate Bogdan Bogdanovic limped to the sidelines soon after. The Philadelphia 76ers stretched their first-half lead to 18 points, and the Hawks looked cooked — surely bound for a second straight home loss and a 3-1 uphill climb in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

But a second-half surge ignited by Hawks forward John Collins and finished by Young's offensive brilliance saved a 103-100 win and their season, tying their second-round series with the East's top seed, 2-2.
